Team takeaways
- Three positives from this impressive win. First, the rebounding dominance was outstanding with 40 total rebounds including 16 on the offensive glass which created numerous second chance opportunities. Second, the defensive intensity was elite with 16 steals and only 3 fouls showing disciplined aggressive defense that disrupted the opponent. Third, the team found a go-to scorer in #34 who delivered 33 points on 13 of 21 shooting including 7 made three-pointers. This kind of performance from a primary option is exactly what we need. The 10 made three-pointers as a team also shows good ball movement creating quality looks from deep.
- Three areas for improvement despite the win. First, the free throw shooting was a disaster at 0 for 4. In a closer game this could be the difference. We need to end every practice with free throw shooting under pressure and track percentages daily. Second, #31 and #39 combined to shoot 3 for 20 which is 15 percent. We need to review their shot selection and either put them in better positions to score or get them involved through other means like off-ball cuts and screens. Third, 14 turnovers is too many for a team that wants to play winning basketball consistently. #27 had 7 turnovers and #40 had 5 turnovers which is too high. We need to emphasize value of possession and run transition defense drills to reduce careless errors.
- Three positives from this game. First, the team competed hard on the defensive glass with 24 defensive rebounds which limited second chance opportunities. Second, the inside game was effective with 13 made two-pointers at a strong 44.8 percent showing good shot selection in the paint. Third, the perimeter defense generated 6 steals showing active hands and pressure on the ball. #12 was a bright spot scoring 17 points with 3 made three-pointers and #20 did a nice job distributing with 7 assists showing good court vision.
- Three areas that need immediate attention. First and most critical, the 19 turnovers versus only 10 assists is a major issue. The team is giving away possessions at an alarming rate. We need to emphasize ball security in practice with two-on-two and three-on-three drills that force players to make decisions under pressure. Second, the three-point shooting was ice cold at 3 for 19 which is 15.8 percent. Either we need to run plays that generate higher percentage looks from beyond the arc or we need to pump fake and drive more often. Third, only 4 free throw attempts in the entire game means we are not being aggressive enough attacking the basket. Our players settled for jump shots instead of drawing contact. We need to add more dribble penetration drills and finishing through contact in practice.
